Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of cultural disposition in the relationship between parenting and academic achievement. Five-hundred thirty five middle school students(male 247; female, 288) participated in this study, These students completed parenting scale and Individualism-Collectivism Scale. Academic achievement was calculated using academic scores from language, english, mathematics and science. Collected data were analyzed using multiple regression. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, parenting was significantly associated with academic achievement albeit weak. Second, influence of affective and autonomy parenting on academic achievement for both father and mother were not significant. Third, moderating effects of individualism were significant in only fathers' autonomy parenting. Fourth, moderating effects of collectivism were significant in fathers' affective parenting and autonomy parenting. These results were discussed in relation to pervious studies. Finally limitations were commented and future study were suggested.
